After dismissing the court, Yan Yan returned to Jingyesi without stopping. The chill brought by his robe frightened the Tiqi on duty so much that they trembled.
The birth of the world is inseparable from "Tao". After different "Tao"s are intertwined and integrated, various small worlds are formed.
There are six Daos that make up this world. They complement each other and together build a unique practice system for this world. (All Things, Miraculous Skills, Life and Death, Ghosts and Gods, Disasters, and Dynasties)
In other words, the living beings in this world can, under extremely special conditions and with the help of the disaster that is brewing, transcend the mundane world and achieve initial transcendence.
Becoming a "natural disaster" between a cultivator and a Taoist master! There are a total of 108 natural disasters in this world, which corresponds to the upper limit of the number of creatures that can create natural disasters.
For the creatures in this world, these 108 natural disasters are the source of all misfortunes, ranging from the extinction of species and the replacement of dynasties to the rampant plague and landslides.
Almost every human tragedy is directly or indirectly caused by these natural disasters.
This kind of uncertainty of being stranded abroad makes all those who want to secure their throne think about a question: how can they limit these natural disasters that cannot be killed or eliminated?
The one who made pioneering contributions in this regard was the ancient emperor of mankind, Dayu! With the help of three Taoist masters (Red Dust Immortals), Dayu forged the Nine Cauldrons, using national fortune to suppress natural disasters. When national fortune was prosperous, natural disasters were not obvious; when national fortune was weak, demons would run rampant. From then on, the suppression trend that has been passed down through the ages began.
However, as the fortune of a country changes, the suppressive items left by the previous dynasty will lose their original suppressive effect after the country is destroyed.
Therefore, almost every dynasty would make new repressive items after its founding.
Before the Warring States Period, the tripod was the main object of suppression. However, when the First Emperor unified the country and the Legalist theory was perfected, the tripod, which was originally used for suppression, was replaced by a prison.
Whether it is the "Qincheng Prison" in the pre-Qin period, the "Dali Temple" in the Tang Dynasty, or the "Imperial Prison" of the Jin Dynasty today, their original purpose was to suppress the ghost plague in various places.
Unlike the technological limitations of other dynasties, when the Jin Dynasty was founded, all technologies had been fully developed and perfected. Therefore, the imperial prison was almost far safer than previous dynasties.
What's more important is that his security level makes the ghosts inside feel desperate. After all, the Imperial Prison is a prison built inside the Jingye Division. Not to mention that they can't get out, even if they get out, it goes without saying what the ghosts will face.
…
Yan Yan, who was covered in dust, didn't even have time to take off his cloak. When he stepped into the imperial prison, he hurriedly opened the map on the wall of the secret room, and then a string of clear handwriting came into his eyes.
The Way of All Things: The demon group outside the pass - Zhuyan, a species of mountain and sea demons, is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Western Mountains": "Four hundred miles further west is the Xiaoci Mountain, on top of which there is much white jade, and below there is much red copper. There is a beast there, which looks like an ape, but has a white head and red feet. It is called Zhuyan, and when it is seen, a large army will be launched."
Qi Ji Dao: The chief minister of the previous cabinet, the Confucian sage - Lu Wangxin.
Ghost and God Taoism: King Kaiping, City God of Shuntian Prefecture - Chang Yuchun.
Disaster Road: Unknown.
Wang Chaodao: Keep it confidential.
The path of life and death: unknown.
Heaven favors: evil dragon, drought demon, locust plague, plague ghost, Willow Girl, Yuan Bai, Zhang Sirui.
(Note: Heaven's favor: When there is no leader of a certain 'Tao', Heaven will choose a spokesperson on its own. As long as this person does not unexpectedly become the leader of a certain 'Tao', the lucky person usually has a strong aura of Heaven's Tao. Judging from the color, it is no different from the "rapid rise to the top" of the court. However, if you look closely, you can also distinguish it. This phenomenon is called Heaven's favor.
According to the Dao of Disaster, the demon race produces two a year, and the human race produces one every fifty years.) "Ah, what a troubled time!"
After writing the names of "Jiang" and Zhang Sirui, Yan Yan, a powerful man who was over 200 years old and had witnessed the change of dynasties, finally uttered a helpless sigh.
Unlike other ministers of the Jin Dynasty, Yan Yan was born in a time of destruction, grew up in a time of chaos, and lives in a time of order. Therefore, he understands better than ordinary people how hard peace is to come by. If anyone wants to break this peace, Yan Yan will skin him alive!
He knew that the path Emperor Qi Ling was about to take was extremely dangerous. It was no exaggeration to say that the whole world was his enemy. If he was not careful, the Great Jin Dynasty would be plunged into endless wars.
In this choice where the outcome of a change is unknown but there is no loss if no change is made, according to conservative thinking, they would never choose to support Emperor Qi Ling.
It's just that it's different. As a cultivator in this world who is infinitely close to being an immortal in the mortal world, Yan Yan can feel something special in the dark.
When everyone thought that there would be no loss if nothing changed, Yan Yan came to the same conclusion as Emperor Qi Ling.
If we seek change, the worst that will happen is the collapse of the rule of the Jin Dynasty. But if we don't change, what will eventually happen is the fall of this world.
Strictly speaking, he was not sure how long this period of time was exactly. It could be one year or a hundred years. But the only thing he could be sure of was that he could not bet on the emergence of another monarch as courageous as Emperor Qi Ling in the future.
If even the might of the Great Jin cannot change the outcome, then we can only regard this world as doomed to failure!
"Mr. Yan, Lord Dou Su has replied that he was indeed the one who sent out the token to Taiping County in order to lure out the real culprit behind the ghost plague in Zhenjiang Prefecture!"
Just as Yan Yan was sighing, a cold voice appeared in his ears.
The seven northern constellations are Dou, Niu, Nu, Xu, Wei, Shi and Bi.
The person Yan Yan valued the most was Dou Su, and it was precisely because of this that he felt at ease handing over the ghost problem in Zhenjiang Prefecture to Dou Su to deal with. It was a pity that the boy was usually careless, but he didn't expect that he would suffer such a big setback this time.
If the Imperial Observatory had not been rigorous and noticed the surge in the fortunes of the Great Jin Dynasty in time, they might have missed out on the only human being who was "favored by Heaven" in the past thirty years.
"Don't use the method of sound transmission, in case the sorcerer predicts it. Your Majesty has just used the national destiny to block Zhang Sirui's 'Favored by Heaven' luck. If it weren't for the sorcerer who has cultivated the 'Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils', there would be no way to discover his true and false.
Find a copy of the secret manual of 'Seventy-two Earthly Evil Techniques - Qi Guiding' from the archives later. Use the excuse of delivering the secret manual to go to Zhenjiang Prefecture in person and be sure to tell Dou Su all the information about Zhang Sirui. He can handle what happens next!"
"My subordinates respect your orders!"
After kneeling and receiving the order, the figure hidden in the dark quickly left, leaving Yan Yan alone facing the empty secret room.
